As a music teacher, I have always known that music touches the soul. It can　 __1__ all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the __2__ for each child to find their light. I would like to __3__ a story about it.

　 For a few years I was __4__ with the opportunity to teach disabled students. One of my most __5__ students was a five?year?old girl called Vanessa, who had difficulty walking, and could not speak. We __6__ sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to __7__ on my lap(大腿). One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit. It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students __8__ twice while singing the repeating phrase，“ Oh, yes ！” Vanessa liked to __9__ her hands together with mine and clap with me. We probably performed that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. But she __10__ said or sang a word.

　　 One day, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, __11__ me in the eye, clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words “Oh, yes！” I opened my mouth in __12__ and for that moment I was the one who could not speak. When my heart __13__ started beating again, I looked over at the assistant teacher to find her also __14___. Through music, we had made an awesome connection.

　　 Several years later, I met Vanessa on the street in town.She waved with a big __15__ on her face and then clapped her hands twice, imitating the song we had __16__ so many times in our music class. The little girl, __17__ her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever. Every child has the __18__ to learn and grow. It is up to us to __19__ the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each child's __20__.

I suspect that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our 36 , and especially if it’s given from the 37 . When people are talking, there’s no need to do anything but 38 them. Just take them 39 . Listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than 40 it.

One of my patients told me that when she 41 to tell her story, people often 42 to tell her that they had once had something just like what happened to her. Subtly, her pain became a story about themselves. 　43 she stopped talking to most people. It was just too 44 . We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the 45 of attention to ourselves. But when we listen, they know we care.

I have ever learned to 46 to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the tissues(纸巾) 47 I realized that passing a person a tissue may be just another way to shut them 48 , to take them out of their 49 of sadness and pain. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there 50 them.

This 51 thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been 52 since I was very young at school. I thought people listened only because they were too 53 to speak or did not know the answer. A loving silence often has far more 54 to connect than the most well-intentioned(善意的) 55 .
